January 10, 1996|By Stanley Ziemba.

The 330-year-old French glass maker Saint-Gobain Group announced plans to open its first U.S. luxury perfume-bottle plant in Georgia by the end of this year. Bowing to demands from American customers including Estee Lauder, Calvin Klein, Elizabeth Arden and Tiffany, the company said it will put a $40 million manufacturing facility in the Atlanta suburb of Covington. The 300,000-square-foot plant will employ 120 people. It will open in November.
